Heaux

Hello twinks. I’m broke and thinking of selling my unopened green NTMT vinyl. Anyone know how rare/sought after they are?

The next Let the Light In/For K Part 2 delulu is gonna be Tulsa Jesus Freak in Little Rock

You know what you have a point. More so even for Peppers

Welp I was really considering going to London as well as Dublin in case she did the collabs but thank god I didnt

Why does she hate us

Sorry but Candy Necklaces falls v flat live. A shorter cut would be good. And the visuals are so repetitive like use some of the video omg!!

Well at-least Samia is more on key. Mostly

She spent like 5 mins down with fans before White Mustang in Dublin, we def didnt miss anything

She’ll prob go live again after Lana gets back on stage. Anyway White Mustang is next so Lorys prob taking her bathroom break

Tbh we’re getting a kinda accurate representation of what it sounds like irl with Lorys singing hahaha. Couldnt hear Lana over the screaming in Dublin for some songs

Couldn’t believe that she cut Venice Bitch, I was in denial hahaha. In general the setlist is so odd and I don’t get why she doesn’t do an encore. Ok maybe controversial but I’ve seen people commenting on videos like “wow the crowd was amazing” etc and I have thoughts. We literally couldn't hear her sing at all on a few of the songs because of the screaming. Like ofc sing along, I did for everything too but theres singing then theres screaming at the top of your lungs for every song. And I totally get people getting hyped and screaming the end part of A&W and like the end of Ride, stuff like that but it was endless even during like Bartender There was a girl a row behind us who literally sounded like she was being murdered the way she was screaming, for the entire set. It was genuinely like Mia Goth in Pearl vibes. It was so bizarre that you just had to laugh. Idk it didn't ruin the night or anything but it was overwhelmingly loud and we were near the back so dunno what it was like up the front.

I mean the fact that rerecorded Yayo fit perfectly onto Paradise shows that AKA wasn't that different to her style lyrically/thematically during the BTD era at all. Side note does anyone else remember when she used to constantly say the words "Sonically, thematically" in interviews in like 2012 and it became a running joke

That's so weird to me considering she was very vocal about being unhappy all through BTD, UV and Honeymoon and only started talking about being in a better place emotionally around LFL. So are they not going to listen to anything pre LFL

Ooh yes I always felt that connection between it and NFR. I guess that's why they're my two favorites. I feel like Doin Time and Kill Kill exist in the same sonic universe as each other, and also Florida Kilos. I guess its the surf vibes and the lighter higher register she uses in parts of all of them. I see what you're saying about not including it as a Lana album but to me because she was going by Lana Del Rey already in Summer 2009 (And yes spelled Rey not Ray at that time) I just associate this era with Lana as opposed to distinguishing Between Lizzy and Lana.

Yaaaaas I'm so glad to hear that

Ohhh bahahah I was definitely around at that time actually. Must have just blocked out the trauma

Well it doesn't seem you were on this site back in 2013 unless you're on a new account. That may have been the case in whatever part of the fandom you were in at the time. There was huge differences in general opinions between say Twitter stans and Lanaboards stans in 2013. In the same way that Tiktok stans don't seem to like AKA but people on here still love it. Anyway how can we truly quantify the popularity of an album either then or now that doesn't have a metric like streaming numbers. I'm just commenting on a huge wave of negativity against AKA that I've seen online that didn't use to exist in my experience and also the fact that I've seen it left out of most album ranking I see online (not talking about on here). She talked about rereleasing it and specifically said that she owns the rights to it. So she's certainly considered it. I agree about Honeymoon and Chemtrails. Its good though, I've always loved Honeymoon so I'm glad people are giving it a second chance and I never gave Chemtrails a chance myself so I've been listening to it more recently because I see it getting a lot of love.

Samee about 2013 Dublin show. I was only 15 and didn’t go cause it was over 18’s but then a user on here (who was 14) said they went on their own and they weren't checking ID’s It wouldn't be so bad if it didn’t end up being an iconic show with the Video Games crying moment

hahah hi thats so funny. Goddd some of the old threads on here are so messy. I went back through some of my posts today and its funny to read but so odd because its like a time capsule of your personality. I was literally 13 when I started going on here so I said the dumbest shit.

Wait scat trolls???? Thankfully I think I left before that started happening hahaha

I had a quick look on Youtube just now and this appears to be one of the only uploads of the correct original version of all the songs. I haven't listened to it in detail but flicked through and it seems good. I don't use spotify but I've heard that people upload unreleased lana stuff there as podcasts so there might be a version on there https://soundcloud.com/user-44795412/lana-del-ray-aka-lizzy-grant-full-album This is also a good option. seems high quality and has the correct versions. These are both gapless too.

Hi everyone I haven't been on this site for about 8 years but hello just dropping in. Alright so ten years ago, post BTD and I guess also post UV, AKA was held in very high esteem by fans and a lot of people seemed to prefer it to BTD. It was always included as an option when ranking her albums or best lead track/closer stuff like that. Whereas now I'm seeing a lot of fans, especially on Tiktok, just not counting it as an album or saying that they hate it/only listened to it once. I have theories on why the tide has turned against it. 10 years ago streaming services were only still gaining popularity and we were either buying albums on iTunes or downloading them illegally (more likely lol) and therefore people were a lot more likely to download AKA and put it on our music apps on our phones back then. Newer fans seem to go to Youtube for Lanas unreleased material now because of this switch to streaming. That brings up two issues for AKA.. People are less likely to listen to an album at all if its only on YT as its inconvenient and secondly the quality of the uploads of the album on Youtube are pretty bad. Most of them have a pitched up version of Gramma which sounds awful and they have the demo version of For K Part 2. There's also parts of the outros clipped off so the songs end abruptly and don't flow well into one another as intended ( Its meant to be a gapless album as some songs are meant to have slight overlaps like For K Part 2 into Jump, Put Me In A Movie into Smarty) So I can understand someone listening to the versions on YT and thinking that its a badly produced messy album. I guess some of it is just to do with the fact that she has so many albums now and this is one of her oldest and least talked about albums. I can also confess to probably only having listened to Lust for Life a handful of times because its not really my vibe but I don't talk shit about it either or pretend its not an album she released. I hope she eventually rereleases the album in good quality without re-recording it, and gapless too please. (Side note I used to have a gapless version of AKA but Apple Music has a bug that adds gaps into gapless albums ) Even if she just does it quietly without any physical releases, even though they would be nice. I think there would be a big shift in peoples opinion of the album if she did rerelease it Anyway, I'm interested to hear if others have noticed this and if you have other thoughts on why this shift has happened. Apologies if this has been brought up before, like I said haven't been on here in years.

heres a more close up video of blue velvet

Giorgio and Brian are actually really talented tho so the songs would hardly be disappointing

did anyone download the Tokyo version of the Boom Clap video, warnerjapan took it down
